"Then, I want to use this power to achieve some of the things I want to do. For instance...it could come into play during a war, or it could be used in business..." Chu Mo looked at the one-armed middle-aged man: "Uncle, is my idea too naive?"

The one-armed middle-aged man thought for a moment, then replied, "The idea isn't childish, but it will require a substantial amount of financial backing. Even though I don't know exactly what you intend to do, I will definitely support you!"

"Heh, I knew one-armed uncle's spirit isn't old yet." Chu Mo laughed happily.

How could a martial artist in his thirties who had cultivated up to the level of Primordial Pass be a man without ambition? Having lost an arm and virtually cutting off his path to cultivation, being confined within the General's Mansion is tantamount to a fatal blow to one-armed uncle.

"Your one-armed uncle is still young." The one-armed middle-aged man laughed and said, "In fact, there are a large number of elite soldiers who leave the army every year for various reasons. The more elite they are, the more likely they are to struggle after returning home. That's because they've become accustomed to life in the army and outside of that, they wouldn't know what else they could do."

Chu Mo's eyes lit up: "So?"

"So, if you gather these people, it will definitely form a considerable force, hundreds of times stronger than the gangs in the secular world!" The one-armed middle-aged man looked at Chu Mo seriously, "However, if you want to accomplish this, it must be kept a secret! Once the outside world finds out that the sons and daughters of the general's family are involved in this..."

Chu Mo nodded and replied in a whisper, "Yes, they would suspect we are planning a rebellion."

"Correct! So, I am not suitable for this job, but I can contact these people. Your one-armed uncle also had a group of comrades he would go through life and death with back in the army." The one-armed middle-aged man said, his body exuding a domineering aura as if he had returned to his days on the battlefield.

"Okay, I'll find the exact person to do this! Uncle, you just need to help me make contact and ensure the house is well-kept. I'll definitely find you an aunt with broad chest, big butt and fair skin!" Chu Mo said with total sincerity.

"Get out!" The one-armed middle-aged man laughed at Chu Mo's words.

Then, the one-armed middle-aged man turned to Chu Mo again. "There's one more thing..."

Chu Mo looked at him, "About Xia Jie?"

Upon returning to Yanhuang City, this name became an obstacle Chu Mo couldn't get around. As the only son of Prince Xia, he had his lower body brutally smashed by Chu Mo, rendering him impotent. It was safe to say, Prince Xia Jing would not let this pass easily.

But the Chu Mo now was not the same as the one who left Yanhuang City in gloom more than half a year ago!

What was Xia Jie? Even if Prince Xia Jing himself tried to deal with him, he wouldn't be afraid!

"I am the hero Lin Bai of the Prairie, who destroyed Great Qi Kingdom's meticulously devised strategy of 20 years and personally helped establish a Prairie queen! Afraid of a prince? Bring it on!"

However, to Chu Mo's surprise, the one-armed middle-aged man couldn't help but laugh. "You kid, you're really lucky. Do you know what happened after you left? For some unknown reason, the Emperor suddenly became furious and dismissed Prince Xia Jing from his position as chief of the cabinet, leaving him with a redundant title and no actual power!"

"What?" Chu Mo was shocked. "How is that possible? His son was in the wrong first when he tried to abduct a civilian girl in broad daylight. But after I disabled him, Xia Jing immediately issued an order to track me down and kill me. The Emperor didn't say anything then, so why did he suddenly dismiss him from his position?"

"What you don't know is that there's a rumour going around that the girl Xia Jie tried to abduct wasn't just any civilian girl, but the Emperor's youngest and most doted-on princess!" The one-armed middle-aged man said mysteriously. "The Emperor didn't punish him at the time to avoid magnifying the incident! But how could he easily let him off after that?"

"You're talking nonsense now, one-armed uncle." Chu Mo gave the one-armed middle-aged man a speechless look. "Leaving aside the Emperor's princesses, whom I've seen countless times at various banquets, that little girl was gentle and fragile, with no hint of connection to the royal family. How could she possibly be the youngest and favorite princess? Furthermore, Xia Jing is a prince, the Emperor's own younger brother! Are you saying his son doesn't recognize his aunt?"

The one-armed middle-aged man shook his head, "Naturally, I have thought of that, but the rumor is quite detailed. Supposedly, this princess was sent to a major sect at a young age, and the Emperor has always been able to keep her identity a secret, preferring outsiders not to know. Therefore, it is plausible that you have never seen her and Xia Jie didn't recognize her."

"Someone sent to a major sect at a young age, would she be a weakling?" Chu Mo couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Stop joking...I bet Prince Xia Jing did something that angered both humans and gods, which made the Emperor furious."

"Uh...maybe, it's just a rumor anyway." The one-arm middle-aged man scratched his head. "But for us, it's still good news."

"That's true." Chu Mo agreed.

"Alright, you rest first. I'll go out and see how to deal with these treasures." The one-armed middle-aged man said slyly, giving Chu Mo another glance. "By the way, young master has found a good master. He's clearly a reclusive powerhouse with a weird temper who comes and goes without a trace."

"My master has a bad temper. Tell the people in the mansion not to provoke him," Chu Mo instructed.

The one-armed middle-aged man nodded and left with a happy face.

Chu Mo sat there, and suddenly chuckled coldly. "Xia Jie...now that your daddy has been dismissed from his cabinet chief position, do you still want to bother me? I'm in a bad mood right now, so I hope you can think twice before messing with me!"

With that, Chu Mo made a distressed face and muttered sorrowfully, "My primordial stones...the primordial stones that could have lasted me for several years of cultivation...were all swallowed up! Was it...just because I glanced at my master? Other than his poison...I didn't see anything else! All kinds of unknowns...damn it, I thought I was rich, but I've become a pauper in an instant."

Today while driving, I encountered a hole dug for road repairs. Although it wasn't deep...I was unable to brake in time and my head hit the car roof. I was dizzy for half an hour, it was pitiful!

We're updating so fast that we'll be off the new book list in less than a month, how pitiful!!!

Recently, everything is going wrong, it's so pitiful.

I need some comfort!!!
